Week 8: Glycolysis, Gluconeogensis, and Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex Flashcards
What sign is an irreversible reaction
Negative Delta G
Spontaneous
How long does gene level control enzymes take
Hours
How long does covalent modification (Phosphorylation, Methylation)
In seconds
How long does Allosteric Regulation
Milliseconds
3 Enzymes that are control enzymes in glycolysis
Step 1 - Hexokinase, add P to #6C on glucose
Step 3 - Phosphofructokinase, add 2nd P to F-1,6
Step 9 - Pyruvate Kinase, add P to ADP from Phosphoenolpyruvate
What is the committed step in glycolysis
PFK
Muscle Mechanisms
Energy
Liver Mechanisms
Energy and biosynthesis
From amino acids and fatty acids
Muscle process in glycolysis is due to what ratio
Regulation of glycolysis in muscle is mostly due to energy charge = ATP/AMP
What is ATP to PFK and Pyruvate Kinase
It is a negative effector
What is the key regulator of glycolysis in mammals
PFK
What does ATP and AMP to cells
Allosterically inhibited by ATP and Allosterically stimulated by AMP
How is the entire pathway regulated
1.) Energy Charge
2.) Feedback
When ATP needs are great how does the body compensate
Adenylate Cyclase generates ATP from 2ADP
Liver: Key regulators
Key Regulators are
Citrate (reports on status of CAC)
Fructose 2,6-Bisphopahte
What does citrate and F-2,6-BP due to PFK
Citrate inhibits PFK
F-2,6-BP activates PFK
What does high citrate concentration due
Plenty of biomaterial to work with, high citrate then slows down glycolysis because less glucose is needed
Name two Bifunctional Enzyme
PFK-Kinase
FBP-Phosphatase
What kind of enzyme is hexokinase
Allosteric
How is Pyruvate Kinase regulated in liver as in muscle
Allosterically
In liver how is Pyruvate Kinase also regulated
Covalent Modification
What does low blood glucose lead to
Phosphorylation and inhibition of liver pyruvate kinase
Glucagon
Hormone that stats phosphorylation cascade that ends up phosphorylating pyruvate kinase
How many steps in Gluconeogensis
Pyruvate - Glucose in 11 steps
7 of them are the same as in glycolysis
